Nokia Is Back In The Smartphone Business, With A 5.5 Inch Device Running Android 7 Nougat

HMD, the company that acquired the exclusive rights to the Nokia brand, has released their first phone, dubbed the Nokia 6, manufactured by Foxconn.

It will be exclusively available in China through JD.com and will retail for about $245.

The phone specifications are as follows:

5.5 inch Full HD display

4GB RAM

64GB internal storage

16MP back camera

Snapdragon 430 Processor

Adreno 505 GPU

16MP back camera

8.0MP front camera

Fingerprint scanner

Quick Charge 3.0

Android 7.0 Nougat

In a statement, HMD has said that the decision to launch its first Android smartphone into China is a reflection of their desire to meet the real world needs of consumers in different markets around the world.

It is interesting to see Nokia, once the global giant, come back into a market they helped revolutionise, but gradually found themselves unable to compete in.

And it will be exciting to see whether or not people will be ready to buy new devices because of the Nokia name, or whether HMD will be forced to come up with new and exciting features for their devices.
